I hear people saying “Mozilla isn’t trying to push AI on users”, well here is an example of it.

    I installed the latest Firefox with AI.

    I turned the AI off and removed it from the menu bar.

    Never saw it after that.

    As much as I dislike even having to opt out/remove it instead of it being an opt in feature, it was painless.

      For the average person that doesn’t understand promotional AI spam, how much pain would be involved in removing this option painlessly?

      Should we be concerned that a browser that is built supposedly for the public good has so much AI promotion inside of it?

        The average person probably isn’t downloading Firefox, and the average person is apparently unconcerned with AI.

        I don’t think you’re using “average” correctly when it comes to this situation.

          Fair enough if you’re being genuine. If you believe the average person is not concerned about AI, and you believe Mozilla’s alleged pledge to keep the internet healthy and not Big Tech dominated, you must be very upset about Mozilla trying to indoctrinate people into Big Tech services.
